GRAND MILITARY REVIEW. Yesterday being the day appointed fur the Grand Military Review upon Hounslow Heath, his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT left Carlton-house in his travelling carriage a little before ten o'clock, and arrived at Hounslow shortly after eleven, by which time the troops, consisting of the first and second regiments of Lite Guards, the Oxford Blurs, the 10th Hussars (the Prince's Own), and the 19th (the Lancers), together with two brigades of Artillery, and se veral pieces of cann o t, were in complete order and arrangement for the inspection of the Prince Regent, the Prince of Hesse Homburg, and his Royal Highness the Duke of York. The line ext ended nearly a mile south of the Bagshtot road. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent alighted from his carriage, dressed in fall military uniform, and immediately mounted a beautiful bay charger and proceeded to the grmind, accompanied by the Prince of Hesse Homburg, the Duke of York, Sir Vim. Congreve, General Taylor, and an im mense number of General Officers and Officers of the Staff. By this time, upon the most nio= derate computation, thirty thousand had as sembled. The carriages of the Nobility and Gentry were three and four deep for nearly a mile, and the equestrians and pedestrians were excessively numerous. A little before twelve the troops were ordered into line, and the bands s•ruck up " God save the King " The Prince Regent, the Mince of Hesse Homburg, the Commander in Chief, and the whole distinguished retinue, rode down the lioe, and re turned, between the line of the troops, and that set apart for the spectators, the bands then play ing martial airs. On their return the cavalcade took its post northward near the Bagshot Road, and the troops marched round twice by them in detachments ; they afterwards Went through a• variety of evolutions with much precision. They charged generally and separately ' During one of the charges, one of the 10m Hussars was thrown from his horse, but fortunately sustained no in jury. Two of the Mu-lei:ins of the Life Guards were also dismounted, rather abruptly, but with out being hurt. The troops continued their evolutions till half past two. They fired in detachments, volhes, and a feu de joie, and the artillery went through their various exercises with much rapidity and deite rity. A little before three the whole marched off the ground, and shortly afterwards the Regent and his distinguished pity also lett. Notwith standing the immense crowd, no accident of any serious description occurred. The above Review was chiefly for the purpose of affording the Prince of Hesse Homburg an opportunity of Witnessing the excellence of the maneeuvres of a Brigade of British Cavalry. BRIGADE ORDER. CORK. MAY IR.—Major-General Gordon has every reason to be pleased with the system of Economy and Discipline• of the 20th Light Dragoons. It is in all branches a highly re spectable corps ; the merit of which is proportionably due to all ranks in it. (signed) BENJAMIN GORDON, Maj.-Gen. The tiOth Regiment is now on its passage home to England, from Gibraltar, in order to be disbanded. FOURTH DRAGOON GUARDS. Major-General White reque,ts C,I. Sher - luck Will convey to the Officers, Ikon-commis coned Officers, and Privates of the . two squadrons of the 4th Dragoon Guards he inspected this day, his entire approbation of their excellent performance in the field; as well as of their exemplary good conduct since they have been stationed in Dublin. The horses are in fine condition, and the greatest attention and judgment appears to hate been evinced in the selection of recruits and remount horses for the regiment—all the interior arrangements of which arc admirably regulated. By Order of Major-General White, (A true Copy.) (Signed) HENRY LANGLEY, Captain and Aid-de-Camp. (Signed) JAMES RALLETT, Lieut. and Adj. 4th Drag. Guards. Royal Barracks, Dublin, May 19. Major-G,nerals Sir JoHN KBMPT and Sir MAN LEY POWER, we understand, are shortly to pro ceed for the East Indies, to augment the Staff there; and it is said that six regiments will very shortly embark for the same degination.

The Dryade, FELL', from Grenada, and the Tiger, --, front New Brunswick, have arrived off the Lizard. i A singular p rocee di ng f or a divorce s said to be now in progress in an Episcopal Court. It is understood to be a similar case to that which was agitated about two centuries ago between the Earl of Essex and his Lady. Report says, that a Hardy young Bachelor conducts the pre sent case on behalf of the Lady. Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, one of the Officers belonging to the suite of the Duke of CAMBRIDGE arrived at the residence of the Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, in St. James's Palace, with the melancholy intelligence of the death of a sister of the Duchess. In consequence of this communication, the Duke and Duchess sent an apology to Baron FAGEL, the Ambassa dor from the .Netherlands, for their non-attend ance at a grand entertainment which his Excel lency gave' The Princess now tleceased was a niece of the QUEEN. POETRY. A DANDY. • • Pray what is a DANDY ?—the Fop of the Day, Whose talk i:: for ever of dress and of play, Who would stay at his glass, if he could, for a week, While he comb'd out his wig, or lie painted his cheek. Who wears a shirt collar to bury his chin, Who still shews his teeth with a simpering grin, Who walks in the street like a French dancing girl, And endangers your eyes with a stick in a twirl, In short, a vain BIPED, at no one thing handy, Completely pourtrays the whole-length of a DANDY. For-ALLEY. JOHN BULL, ROYAL ACADEMY. (Continued.) 1110. Monumental Alto Re liero in Marble. R. WESTAIACOTT, R.A. A pleasing composition, remarkable for the airy graceftr ness of the two Angels, and commendable for confining itse to biblical imagery, without any heathen emblems. 1116. Bust of the Lady Louisa Russell. F. CLIA NTREY, R. A. Elect. .The name of Mr. CUANTREY stands so deservedly high, - - consequence of his beautiful and affecting Monument of the two Children in the Exhibition of last year, that it will be a sufficient encomium o❑ the present work to say, that it does not discredit the eminent character of the Artist. The atti tude of the figure, strangely called a Bust, is strongly expres sive of infantile affection and pleasure. The charming Infant folds her little treasure, the Dove, in her bosom, and appears wrapt in attention to it. The energy of early life raises her on tip-toe, to meet, caress, and confine her object. On this latter part of the attitude, the sight of CANOVA'S Hebe, of last year, may possibly have had some insensible influence, but such an adoption, if it be intended, does not prevent the claim to originality in the design of the whole statue. TI e proportions of the body are correct and appropriate, and th e character of the legs and arms peculiarly true to nature, both with regard to sex and age. 1089. Charity: a Model. J. FLAXMAN, R. A. The simplicity and purity of Mr. FLAXMAN'Scompositions are fully preserved in this group. There is something in the Children which reminds us of the English School in the days of our EDWARDS and HENRYS. The expressions are natural and touching. (To be continued ) THE 1 HEATRES. KING'S THEATRE.—II Don Giovanni, the fa vourite Opera, drew a very numerous audience night, and was, as usual, highly applauded. We were glad to see the opposition to the Ballet of Tamerlane abated, as it is really a splendid pro duction. DRURY-LANE.—A Cure for the Heart-Ache was last night represented at this Theatre, and EL LVTON performed the part of Young Rapid with admirable spirit, The continued illness of MUN DEN occasioned Old Rapid to be assigned to Ox- BERRY, who acquitted himself very humorously. The [louse was well attended. • COVENT-GARDEN.—BRAHAn performed Mac heath last night for his own benefit. iVe hardly think GAY intended that his Hero should have learned to sing in an Italian School, but decora tion is the order of the day, and public Performers must conform to it,— " For they who live to please, must please to lire." • He sustained the part at least with good sense, though be certainly did not sport the figure of a dashing Free-booter. The audience seemed to he glutted with music, for they treated other vocal entertainments with most censureable roughness. A crowded House. THE ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CANIBRIDGE, &c. On Monday morning the Royal Family in Lon don recerved letters from the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, stating, that he, with his Duchess, and her father, the Landgrave of HESSE CASSEL, had arrived at a late hour on Saturday night at Calais, and that they might be expected in London yesterday morning. They did, not embark on board the Royal Sovereign yacht till Monday, and sailed from Calais at five o'clock in the afternoon . ; they ar rived at Dover at eight. It was a very rong-b sea, so much so that the whole of the Royal Party and suite were extremely ill, except the Duke of CAM BRIDGE. The Duchess, we are sorry to say, was most affected. The first carriage of the Royal Suite arrived in London at ten minutes past five o'clock, in which was Major Davidson, an Aid-de-Camp of the Duke, and another attendant. At a quarter to six the second carriage arrived, in which was Colonel Bennett, the Aid-de-Camp of the Duke. The third carriage arrived directly after, in which were Gaol. Pratt, Lieut.-Colonels Keat and Potts, and Major Jones, Aides-de-Camp of the Duke, and also Major Slekar, Aid-de-Camp of the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel. - The fourth carriage, in which was the Duke and Duchess, ar rived a few minutes before six o'clock. A great concourse of people were collected near the house, who received the Royal Strangers with every mark of attention and respect upon their getting out of the carriage, and gave repeated buzias to the Royal Duchess ; the Duke, who took off his hat and bowed to the people., was . also greeted wiih acclamations, and the Duchess curtseyed in return for her flattering reception.— The fifth carriage followed directly after that of the Duke and Duchess, in which was the Land graie of Hesse Cassel, the Father of the Duchess, who was conducted by one of the principals. of the household to the house, No. 5, in South And ley-square, which has been prepared and fitted up for his accommodation and suite. Three other carriages followed, in which were female and male attendants. The Duchess has Mademoiselle La Baronne de Hederman, as Lady of Honour, with her. The Duke of Clarence was the first who paid his congratulations upon their arrival at Cam bridge House, having entered a few minutes after them. After dining, the Duke hastened to the , Queen's Palace, to pay his dutiful respects to his Royal Mother. GENERAL ELECTION. Mr. COLEMAN RASLRIGH 811(1 Mr. AUSTIN Can vassed the borough of Fowey on Sarurria last for Lord VALLETORT, as reported ; but it is reported also, that in tact they respectively canvassed for a Mr. CAMPBELL, and Mr. WILLIAMS, a banker of London. Sir EGERTON BRYDGES, one of the present Mem bers, again offers himself as a Candidate to repre sent this borough, at the ensuing General Elec tion ; and A W. ROBARTS, Esq. banker of Lon , don, and brother to the Member for St. Albans, comes forward in the light blue interest, and who, we understand, makes his entrance into this town on Monday next.—(Maidstone Journal ) Mr. WETIIRRALL has decli:ied ac:epting the in• vitation of a number of Gentlemen to become Candidate for Westminster, partly from his pro fessional engagements and other private reasons. Captain BRRKBLEY, of the Royal Navy, has de. dared his intention of becoming a Candidate for the city of Gloucester. The contest between (his gentlemen and Mr. CooPeß will prove a smart one. CORN-EXCHANGE, MAY 27.-I'he continued large supplies which we are daily receiving causes a great stagnation in the Trade in general ; the Wheat and Barley Trade is particularly dull; in short there was so little doing, we quote the prices nominally tie same as on Monday; at the close of the Market on that day, Flour declined ss. per sack, best price 70s, American Papers to the 25th ult. have arrived. An article in one of them states that the indialiS kad been so completely defeated by General Jacx sort, that the war was considered at an end, an:l the Militia were expected to return to their homes. These Papers contain no other news. Mrs. EDWIN.-The heavy loss which this Lady has suffered by the perfidy of her Broker has raised a general impulse of kindness among our generous Brethren of Dublin, and she receives the warmest encouragement in that City. - Law.—Nothing of importance occurred in any of the Courts yesterday. LAW ARRANGEMENTS.-It is reported at the Bar, That Lord ELLENBoROUGH will immediately resign as Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, on account of indisposition, and that the present Vice-Chancellor will succeed him. The successor to the latter Learned Judge is not known. Mr. COOK, one of the King's Counsel at the Chancery Bar, has declined practising in Court ; be intends to confine his practice to his Chambers. Afessrs. WINGFIELD, RoRNE, RoU. PELL, and HEALD, Barristers at the same Bar, will be sworn in King's Counsel in the course of the Term.---(British Press) SHOCKING ACCIDENT. Yesterday morning, John Haggerty, 'a young man employed at the London Docks, while in the act of working at the top of a place forty feet high, by some means was precipitated to the ground, by which he was dashed to pieces, and killed on the spot.. CAUTION To NUEsEMAIDS.—Friday, a girl at Semington, about seven years of age, took an infant 14 months old for a walk, and arriving at the bridge, put it on the wall, when it fell back wards into the river, and the water running im petuously, it was carried down the stream, anti was not found till Sunday. FIFTY-FIVE MILES A-DAY FOR FIFTEEN DAYS. Mr. FLOWERS, the Hampshire pedestrian, who started on the ISth instant, to do the above ex traordinary undertaking, was going on well on Monday, the Sth day. His route has been through Basiiigstoke, Salisbury, and 14xeter, and from thence into Somersetshire. He slept at Wells on Sunday night, and the next day proceeded towards Wereford. He has done his work reguhrly in 16 hours per day, and was fresh and well on Mon day. , Strawberries ere now rapidly falling in Covent- Garden Market. Yesterday morning, they sold as low as half-a-crown the thumb pottle, each containing about 20 strawberries. A. short time since, Mr. H. Smith, jun. of-Don. easter, struck with the appearance of a little chim ney-sweeper, between three and four years of, age; was induced to inquire who he was ; the persons to whom he belonged informed Mr. S. they had purchased him of a female tramp, but that she would not tell them from whence she brought him. The poor child has a most prepossessing countenance, and all his ruin• ners indicate that he is of a superior condition ; he states his name to be Richard Stansfield, but cannot tell the name of the place were lie lived; he says his father resides in a large house, anti dressed in black, and that his own mother -taught him to say his prayers, which the woman never did. The child remains at present under the care of Mr. Smith, at Doncaster, who is fully im pressed with the conviction that be has been stolen,( Leeds IntelliBeneer.) BUONAPARTE'S WEALTII.—It is a matter of speculation in some of our daily prints by what means BUONAPARTE has acquired the immense riches which it is said he has lately become pos sessed of. The circumstance of a draft for a. large amount, signed Napoleon, having been pre sented and duly honoured at a certain eminent Banker's, has given rise to the idea, (not at all unlikely) that be had employed, an agent to buy Lottery Tickets ; and when it is recollected that MARTIN and Co. of No. 8, Cornbill, end No. 120, Oxford -street, lately sold Prizes of 40,0001. 20,0001. 10,0001. &C. it is not improbable that: he made his purchases at their Offices, where they hope to sell part of the Three 20,0001. Prizes in the Lottery to commence the 4th of JUNE. ThoughßlSH's Luck_ last Lottery has not quite extended from Pole to Pole, yet it will be seen by the immense List of Capitals he has just publish ed, that the two extremities of the empire have shared in his good fortune ; for it is deserving of notice that the most remote part of Scotland, and. Penzance in Cornwall, have each bad Share•, and here are few towns between the two extremes hat have not likewise participated. Butt will no donbt give as good an acco►int of the three of 20,0001. and the 104 other Capitals this Lottery, which is an improvement on the last.
